Talking/singing in sleep

Hare Krishna dear devotees

Is there any spiritual explanation behind someone talking pretty clear during sleep.

5% of adults talk in sleep. Is sleep talk one of the outcome of our consciousness.

Modern sleep science accept that sleep talking is not a product of a conscious or rational mind.

Jai shree Gokulesh.

    What exactly are dreams?
    Question: Are dreams real? What exactly are they according to the Vedic perspective. During dream, does the soul actually leaves the body or are they…

    maybe it is because of not peaceful mind.

    When mind is peaceful and when person depends on Krishna such like things should not happen.

    Dream should be peaceful in order our body and mind take rest for the next day full of services.

    I think one should gain knowledge of Bhagavad Gita and understand that nothing belongs to him, and we just servants of God and that He will protect us in any situations.

    Yes, it might be even some greed, fear which comes from false ego "I" & "Mine"

      It used to happen with me to a big extent during school days. It hasn't happened so much since the time , I have come to KC, though I don't know if at all it has happened. But the cause is still unknown to me.

      I know one devotee from my college, who was doing a night out for assignments and somehow he fell asleep while doing that. He was in hostel at the time when he was doing assignments( it was night time) and he was supposed to attend the morning program the next day( the morning program was emphasized a lot by senior devotees). He got up in sleep and was walking from hostel towards the center(devotees had a separate place for morning program) and he went to a 2 story house, and then climbed up the first floor and fell off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Though he was not injured so seriously and recovered completely but he had 4-5 stitches.This devotee is very sincere and senior.

      I feel sometimes, it is due to pressure as well that it happens. But really can't be sure.

        my humble obeisances,

        We are still in this body and bound with 3 gunas of material world. If we do not take proper care of this machine then we will loose control over it. As like even if one wheel of a car out of 4 does not work properly then even the driver can not let it go forward nicely. He has to stop and repair.

        In this way this body needs some amount of rest, food. If we do not eat on time body starts to tremble, weak. In this way if we do not sleep on time or too less then it will start to act improperly.

        For example, if i somehow wake up in between my sleep then i will talk nonsense and do not remember what have i done. Or this happens when i sleep too late. If someone calls i speak but i don't know to whom i spoke and what i spoke.

        -----------------------

        It is not a problem of pressure. I am sure that Devotee wanted him to progress but he should to sleep on time. And mostly in unconscious state we can see our desires deeply rooted.

            My humble obeisances Rakesh Roshan Prabhu.

            i would explain to senior Devotee about my situation and submit my assignments on time skipping one day morning program.

            We should not be upset but explain our real situation and problems but not follow blindly.

            Krishna gives us intelligence and we have to use that. If senior Devotee knows your problem then he will also understand.

            But sometimes some senior Devotees are too "spiritual". When i did my computer science i had to study much but some Devotees used to say that no need to work like an ass but just chant. But this is not good. Then by listening them i also became weak in my studies. But later other Senior Devotees told me that i have to study well and become an exemplary student. Then i listened them and could be able to pass my exams.

            In this way we have to be honest and listen our counselors. And also use our own intelligence.

      But sometimes it happens even with Devotees. They may see some spiritual dreams and call out the Names of Krishna. In this way these worries are very nice.

      We can  use everything in Krishna's service even talks in our dreams BUT NOT ENVY. 

      Your servant,

    I personally have undergone such situation , where people have said that I talk while sleeping and even walk with my eyes wide open and later , I am not able to recall any of the incidents that happened. I myself have not been able to understand the reason for this, but I know it is true. There is a scientific term for the same - " Somniloquy ".
